it doesn't really work like that (or at least it shouldn't) according to the constitution. The federal government should not have more power than the state government but unfortunately it sort of has. Fortunately, there have been movements by the states to push back, much of it surrounds issues like legalization and immigration. States rights supersede all, that's how the framers of the constitution wanted because they knew it would maximize individual liberty and reduce the ability of the federal government to attempt to take control.
what you are talking about creates major problems. one size certainly does not fit all. what works in NY city will not work in small town Alabama. I personally do not like the idea of some bureaucrat 1000 miles away deciding laws and policies that effect me and my family when he hasn't even been to or heard of my town or city. I want the folks I elect democratically from the area, living in the area, familiar with our values and way of life making these decisions.
